Inside the “G. Sattin” Sports Center in Settimo Torinese (Turin, Italy), RADICI SPORT was engaged in a real 360-degree renovation.
Right from the start, RADICI SPORT found in Pro Eureka Settimo a receptive partner, who gave full confidence for the transformation of a sports center that until then had been almost abandoned. The Society was assisted from the feasibility study to the development of the actual executive project. Starting from a situation of semi-deterioration of an important area, in a few months two 11-player soccer fields, a 7-player soccer field and a 5-player soccer field were built, complete with fencing and all sports equipment.
The result of an important work of comparison and evaluation of every single detail, RADICI SPORT and the company ASD Eureka Settimo have redefined and optimized all the playing areas to meet the needs of a football club that aims to achieve important results with the first team and especially the development of the youth sector. The 7- and 5-player soccer fields will also be made available to the entire Settimo Torinese community for the organization of friendly matches and amateur tournaments.
The 11-player soccer fields were constructed with a vertical drainage subfloor, complying with the regulations dictated by the current LND Standard and FIFA Quality Pro Regulations. The 7-a-side and 5-a-side soccer fields were also constructed with the same drainage system in order to ensure maximum usability of the sports surfaces even during particularly adverse weather conditions.
In recent years, the company has developed as a general contractor for major works, including the Monteboro sports center owned by FC Empoli, UC Sampdoria’s 3C soccer field in Bogliasco, and now the Pro Eureka Settimo sports center.
The artificial turf used for this specific intervention, installed on all of the approximately 19,000 square meters, is the innovative RADICI SPORT XWR EVO 3D. This is a next-generation turf made of special monoextruded polyethylene anti-abrasive monofilament fibers having 3 different yarn sections and 3 shades of green.
The yarns that make up this specific turns have the characteristic of having regular sections that guarantee great resilience of each individual tuft and ensure consistent performance over time in terms of ball glide and bounce. These are specially designed yarns to meet the needs of intensive or extreme use sports fields.
A state-of-the-art system consisting of a performance shock-pad coupled with RADICI SPORT XWR EVO 3D turf, which has a height of 52 mm, has been installed on the main court, which has dimensions of 112×70 m. The stabilization infill consists of LND-certified silica sand and the performance infill of LND-certified SBR granule, also LND-certified.
The field in question will be LND certified with the ability to play matches up to the Serie D category, in addition to FIFA Quality Pro certification.
The smaller 11-a-side soccer field (103×60 m), on the other hand, has been constructed with an artificial turf system RADICI SPORT XWR EVO 3D 52 and clogged with sand and certified SBR granule ennobled. Again, the field will undergo LND homologation and will guarantee the possibility of playing matches up to the First Category. The field will also be usable for all FIGC matches of the Scholastic Youth Sector and up to the Regional Juniores category.
As required by LND regulations, the 11-a-side soccer fields are both equipped with an irrigation system.
The partnership was celebrated on May 24, 2024, with the presence of personalities from the entertainment, sports and political worlds during the inauguration of the fields and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
